so i've tried to run shadowrun a few times now and asside from getting bogged down in the rules (an annoying yet solvable problem) i've had a lot of trouble keeping the group interested during the setup stages of a run

i really enjoy the process of planning out a run and get a great sense of satisfaction for a well executed plan ("i love it when a plan comes together") but i don't think that's true for most of the rest of my players

so
the question becomes
how do i setup runs they'll enjoy

@catoutofbed Shadowrun very easily bogs down in game mechanics and planning. I’m in the middle of creating a Fate Accelerated version of it, and plan to make plenty of use of flashbacks. The Leverage and Blades in the Dark games should also provide some good inspiration for heist scenarios without bogging down in planning.

@mithriltabby
that's funny
i tried doing a fate game with flashbacks for this same reason but it fell apart due to other reasons first

@catoutofbed I first used it in an adventure where the centerpoint was a Star Wars podrace. That would have put the spotlight on one character too much, so I introduced the opportunity for other players to introduce flashback scenes every time he encountered other racers, showing how they had messed with them by stealing their lucky dice, keeping them up all night partying, etc. They had a great time.
